[QUOTE="Grogg of the North, post: 6765324, member: 6682960"] I wouldn't worry too much about percentages and pushing your will save higher. You are always going to fail on a one. And unless the sword is going to scale in power, that DC is going to remain a static 20. Your will save will keep rising from levels, resistance bonuses, et cetera. Continuing to invest feats in pushing your will save seems like a poor decision. If you're truly worried about getting dominated save your money to get some sort of permanent protection from evil effect (you still need to make the save but any mind control is suppressed for the spells duration) or pick up the Mind Vault from Magic Item Compendium (as an immediate action once per day, negate any attempt to take over your mind. Kinda pricey though.). At tenth level, you should have a cloak/vest of resistance. Probably +2 by this point. Grab an armor crystal of mind cloaking for another +3 if you have magic armor. Your will save is now +18 and all you're doing is 1 checking. Magic items vary by campaign and DM so make sure those things are available before showing up with them. :) For future feats, Leadership is strictly by DM's approval. So you'd need to run this idea by him sooner rather than later. That way if they want you to roleplay meeting your cohort or build into the story how you start acquiring followers, they can work on that now. Rather than you showing up and going "Hey I took Leadership!" and the DM going "Okay, I guess you fart out a cohort". Combat Expertise is a nice feat and opens a lot of doors. But if you're not going to follow it up with something like Improved Trip, then I'd ignore it entirely. The Knight Bonus Feat is list is very small. Can you ask your DM if you can add Noble Born to the bonus feat list? Are you already nobility or trying to become a lord? Again, I'd probably go to get the most out of my shield. Shield Charge, and possibly Shield Slam, should be doable with just the remaining feats. For the feats you have listed, which are knight bonus feats are which are regular feats? Are you human?
